'cause I'm conducting a research for school that's related to procrastination... I need to know if there is such a thing as "levels" of procrastination so that I can give a descriptive analysis for my research's respondents...that's only one part of my research... it gets more complicated from then on... is this reliable information?

Throw some tofu and cheese on a piece of tinfoil…” It didn’t answer the question but having a geek son doing medical research, and having been a geek for thirty years, I was tempted to look at some of your other posts. Now having your “Taxonomy of procrastination” (which I will share with other supreme procrastinators) I don’t feel so alone in what I deem one of my worst character traits. It’s also nice to know the current generation of geeks appreciates the finer points of delay. I’ve read much from writers who think procrastination is a behavior that can be modified, but in spite of sincere attempts I haven’t found a cure for the trait myself. Just yesterday I heard from a friend, who as well as being another geek is also an appeals court judge, who lamented his work piling up on his desk, including three death row cases. His angst was palpable. So as taxonomy is the first level of greater understanding, I have hopes that this work will lead to more interest in finding a cure.

However, it immediately progresses to Class 3 as you begin to flesh out the details. It's actually a tricky example! Dude, why is it not the Nicholson-Tang Taxonomy of Procrastination? …kidding! =P
